As long as I have known Shannon, she has loved animals, all kinds of animals, even the wild ones. She handles them all with safety, love, and the utmost care and concern. She is by no means timid approaching my "zoo" of cats, dogs, cockatiel, and a rabbit and enjoys spending extra time with them as well. Shannon is willing to be available whenever we need her and her quickness to respond is greatly appreciated.

I have struggled to write this review for Shannon, but if I were considering hiring her for my dogs, I would want to consider this input. Shannon was hired to stay at our house to take care of our three dogs, a 5year old Golden, a 13.5 year old yellow lab Mix & a 4 year old pit bull who belongs to my son & is living with us for several months. Shannon had been watching my neighbor's dogs the week before our trip & I was quite concerned that even on her days off from work she was gone for 12-13 consecutive hours a day. I had a wonderful neighbor who agreed to come let my dogs out in mid-day so they would not have to hold going potty so long for 10 days. They are fine doing that every so often, but with an older dog I am not comfortable with that many days. I left detailed written instructions & gave verbal instructions on feeding & adding supplements & giving thyroid meds to my older dog. I returned to discover none of the supplements were given (they are for liver & allergies.). She did dig through the supplements to find the thyroid pill most days, but evidently could not always find it to give. I had put the supplements in labeled medication dispensers which are what humans use for meds each day of the week. I had left phone numbers for her to call & never received any calls- just texts a couple times saying all was well. I have doubts that the dogs were walked much because I picked up 40-some piles of poop in my back yard & neighbors said they only saw her walking one time. If you have easy to care for cats or a dog who requires very little attention/care perhaps Shannon would be a good choice. I will not be asking her to dogsit in the future.

Shannon did an EXCELLENT job taking care of our crew of three. One of them required two different types of medication for heartworm treatment and she did a wonderful job keeping up with all required dosages. When we arrived home, the dogs were calm and HAPPY! VERY comforting to know they were well taken care of and our house was just as we left it. We will definitely be calling upon Shannon for future stays.

Kennel Assistant & Dog Walker

I have always loved being around animals. I was rescuing small animals and insects as far back as I can remember. If I am not at the clinic working you will usually find me at the horse stables riding. I am currently a Kennel Assistant at a local Pet boarding facility and previously worked at a Veterinary Clinic in Maryland where I handle everything from Police K9s to senior dogs for boarding. I also bathe ...

I have always loved being around animals. I was rescuing small animals and insects as far back as I can remember. If I am not at the clinic working you will usually find me at the horse stables riding. I am currently a Kennel Assistant at a local Pet boarding facility and previously worked at a Veterinary Clinic in Maryland where I handle everything from Police K9s to senior dogs for boarding. I also bathe many of our clients and administer medication when needed. I am animal CPR and First Aid trained and attended an animal massage course also. Every animal I care for becomes a part of me emotionally and is an important responsibility under my care.

What Shannon would like to know about your dog

I would like to know their daily routine. Any fears they may have. What is their normal schedule so I can keep their day as typical as possible.

Additional Skills

Senior Dog Experience

When Shannon watches your pet

Depending on where the dog lives I would walk around their neighborhood if possible. If their owners permitted me to take them to a trail for a longer walk (if I were doing over night stays with them). If they had fenced in yards I would try playing fetch or even just run with them myself for exercise.
